Hey, it's Hunter here, just got off the Armada El Ray and this a 4 out of 5 star ski for me. The reason is, at the price point, it's all I could ever want out of a ski. If you're getting into park riding, if you're hard on your skis and you go through a pair every year, this ski is very neutral. It does what you ask of it, it's not hooky, it's stable at speed, makes a great smooth turn; for an all around price point twin, it's a great choice.

Hey, this is Kyle. I just got off the Armada El Ray. I really like this ski, I give this ski a good 4 out of 5. It's a really fun, playful, beginner ski to intermediate ski. Maybe if you're just wanting to get in the park and you want a solid, good construction ski that's not going to just start falling apart when you hit some boxes or rails and stuff like that, or hit the edges, this ski will hold together and it's really lightweight for swing weight, so good for learning tricks and stuff in the park, but still can be used all around the mountain too. So, it's a great ski at a good price. I give this ski a 4 out of 5.

Hi, I'm Thom and I just got off the Armada El Ray. I'm going to give this 4 out of 5 stars. At the price, it's all the ski you could ever ask it be. Super predictable, good edge hold, pretty decent pop to it. Nothing super exciting here, but it's just a good, stable, predictable, all mountain, freestyle ski. It's forgiving enough that I could put a beginner type skier on here pretty comfortably, especially if you wanted to start to dabble in the park, all the way up through a high level, intermediate that's just looking for something fun that they can take anywhere.

Hi, I'm Mike. I just got done skiing the Armada El Ray. I'm going to give this ski a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I skied it a few times and I found that I really had to stay centered over my skis to get this ski to perform. It's geared more toward an intermediate skier. If you're doing frontside stuff, but it's also meant for the park skier, so it's pretty stiff, really snappy. Decent edge hold with short and medium turns, long turns, it didn't feel as stable under my foot, but you know, for somebody that's an intermediate, does some groomers, and likes to spend some time in the park or even get into the pipe, I think this would be a really great ski for them. So, again, Armada El Ray, 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I'm Adam, and I was just skiing on the Armada El Ray. I give this ski 3 out of 5 stars. It's not really my type of ski, it's more your entry level, to intermediate Armada ski, that's a little bit park, little bit all mountain. If you're going to use it for a good, inexpensive rail ski, or just for boxes, or skiing at little local hills or strictly park, it'd be a great ski for you, but for using it as like, an all mountain or anything like that, it's not that type of ski. Perfect transition ski for a young kid just getting into his first adult ski, or looking for something really soft, easy to ski, pretty inexpensive, this would be a good ski for you. 3 out of 5.

Hi, I'm Steve. I just got off the Armada El Ray. I'm going to have to give this ski 3 out of 5 stars. This isn't my particular kind of ski, I'd say this is more of a park ski. Be really solid for jumps. When you popping out of the park, riding on groomers, it's a little harder to turn. You're going to have to keep longer radius turns. Not going to give you the greatest edge going down, but for an intermediate-advanced skier hopping in on the park, you're going to have a great time on this ski. Again, I give this a 3 out of 5 stars.
